Background: Chemerin (CHEM) is a newly-discovered adipokine involved in the immune, metabolic and reproductive processes. Low-grade state inflammation (LGSI) is a key element in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MS).Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of age on MS prevalence, androgenic status as well as on selected inflammatory indices and CHEM plasma concentrations. Additionally we investigated correlations between CHEM and ...
